These dog agility mats can be cleaned with a walk-behind commercial floor cleaner that uses soft brushes as to not damage the mats. When you instead need to only clean a small area of the floor, hot water with basic soap applied with a mop will work well for simple cleaning. The tiles can be swept, but vacuuming may prove to be easier due to the non-slip texture of the mats. Bleach diluted with water can also be used on the mats to disinfect them. Before using any cleaning supplies, it is recommended that it is first tested on an out-of-the-way section of the flooring to ensure that the cleaning product will not damage or discolor the mats.

For installations in rooms that currently have carpeting, we recommend that the carpet is taken up before the dog agility tiles are installed. If the tiles are installed as an island in the room, a set of tiles that doesn't extend to the edges of the room, they are likely to slip if installed over carpet. If you wish to still install an island of dog agility mats over carpet, doubled sided carpet tape could help alleviate and movement of the island. If the dog agility tiles are going to be installed wall-to-wall in the room, they can be installed over a low pile carpet.

Four border strips come with each dog agility tile to allow for them to be installed flush against the wall or create a finished edge for island installations. If you need to cut a tile to make it fit flush up against a wall, you can score and slice the tile with a box cutter or utility knife to get a clean edge.

The EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate) and PE (polyethylene) foam construction of the dog agility tiles will lead to years of use from these mats.

Vacuuming and mopping with pine sol or a similar product on a weekly basis is the best way to keep Greatmats' dog agility mats clean and extend the product's lifetime. A mechanized walk-behind floor scrubber can be used on a monthly or quarterly basis, but the softest brushes available should be used. Prior to using on the entire floor, try the floor cleaner in an inconspicuous section of the floor to make sure that it doesn't damage the surface of the dog agility mats.
